To the original poster: what do you have to offer that's "new"? Or, what questions can you ask that will generate new discussions?
Repetitive answers to repetitive questions is sort of the norm on this sort of board...new owners (like me) show up with questions that have been asked before and nice knowledgeable people sweetly repeat the information they've provided to numerous other newbies over the years.
That's sort of the way it works.
New stuff is, I'm sure, incredibly welcome....and if you have something new to toss into the discussion I'm sure you will find it well received. Heck, based on what I've seen,if you toss a new idea into the mix it will be jumped on and quickly reach a massive post count....
It just seems you are bored by this board. It's not entertaining enough now that you've got your set up working well...
Perhaps you could find joy in helping others who are new? It's just an idea. Having recently gone through the "starting with Chameleons" process, and found stability, you could be a valuable aid to newer people just finding the forum or animal.

Crazy Pet Lady...I'm still not sure what you are looking for.

The information can't be given out in most cases until the study has been completed, presented, peer reviewed and published.
Maybe some of this will help...for now...

Thankyou Kinyongia, Have saved all of them to a special folder in my favorites, Will start reading now!
Some awesome links here kin, where do you get them all? Just reading the study on infrared reflectance in chams and discovered whites tree frogs do it too! Just learned something new!
These and as many as you can find, would be awesome replicated in a dedicated forum here. Just an idea.
Your never escaping me now Kinyongia

Nothing wrong with stating your case. I think I learn something new here everyday, and the excitement comes not only from that but by knowing that I help people. Sounds like you maybe need to branch out into another reptile or hobby.
jojackson said..."Your never escaping me now Kinyongia"...guess I'm in real trouble now...
As for where I get the links...I find them as I'm searching and bookmark them. There are lots more...but I have to look for them.
I've been a very small part of a few studies myself...one on a chameleon fungus (it was my chameleon that had the fungus, nannizziopsis vriesii, that started the study off) and another to do with female veiled chameleons (the reproductive cycle). There was also a paper that was supposed to be written about cancer in the eye of one of my chameleons, but it hasn't been done yet. A parasite in one of my chameleons was studied too...they needed a male to be able to identify/categorize it.

Here are a few more...I apologize if I repeat some of them....

You could try adding tank mates like I did but don't tell anybody coz You'll get flamed. Or If you're just looking for an interesting reptile see if you can get your hands on a Thorny Devil. They just eat tonnes of ants but the way they drink is so cool.

LOl, I think a thorny is going to be very difficult to come by.
Links added to my reading list , Thanks again Kin.
